August 3.
Jubilife Pokémon Theme Park.
As the sun sank in the west, the final day of Pokémon Summer Camp ended, bringing its first session to a successful close.
With the help of the theme park's Exhibition Hall, Professor Rowan had been able to make his lessons wonderfully varied.
The Red Team, which included Dawn, Ash, and Korrina, had claimed the final victory.
"We're the champions!"
"We're number one, Pikachu!"
"Pikachu!"

"Yeah!"
Dawn and Ash exchanged a vigorous high five.
It was their signature celebration.
"Summer Camp's over, too."
The sadness of parting dulled much of the excitement of winning.
For a moment, they felt rather melancholy.
Li Wei bent his middle finger and rapped Dawn and Korrina on the head.
"What are you getting sad for? You're still so young. You've got plenty of days ahead of you."
"Right!"
Li Wei reminded her, "Korrina, come over here for special training after this year's Kalos League ends."
The Pokémon League didn't exploit its Gym Leaders. They had a set period of leave every year.
That break was a good opportunity for Gym Leaders to travel or improve their skills.
Of course, there were also Gym Leaders like Blue and Sabrina, who preferred to coast along...
"Okay, Master!"
"You too, Dawn. After this year's Grand Festival, come here for some special training first. You can travel afterward."
"Sure, no problem!"
Li Wei didn't need to worry about Ash.
He had his own teacher, Blue.
How to arrange things for Ash after the League tournament ended...
That was Blue's responsibility.
The next day.
With their studies at Pokémon Summer Camp complete,
Ash, Dawn, and Brock were about to set off on their journey. They would head to Lake Valor to participate in the Pokémon Contest hosted by Wallace.
